Some jerk off said that on Judge Judy today...

This thread is hilarious ... I live in Florida (which, depending on your POV, may or may not be the South) and I've heard it all.

Liberry = library
Shole = sure
Irregardless = regardless
I'ma = I'm going to
Tryna = trying to
Ax = ask
I seen him/her = seen is a participle, thanks

And my personal favorite: "Where you at?"
Umm, behind that preposition you left dangling.

Ok. The online dictionaries that I checked have an interchangeable pronounciation for the word.

This is the worst one I've ever heard.

I had a professor back in the day who was really ignorant and tried to feign intelligence by using "big" words. He always spoke to students in a condescending manner and acted superior. I kid you not, whenever he wanted someone to elaborate on an answer, he said "Please explicicate" and "Exlpicicate on that"! He said this at least three times per day. I can only assume he meant to say "explicate," and he could have just said "explain". Nothing makes someone sound dumber than desperately trying to sound smart. I swear I don't know where these people get Ph.Ds!
